With Fall nearly here, it's time to start thinking about some carved pins for gifting. The Pin that come to mind is a PUMPKIN. The pumpkin can stand alone as a pumpkin for Thanksgiving and/or add some features and it is a Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween.

| Just a plain Pumpkin! |
 |
| The plain Pumpkin blank with a handle to provide more to hold onto when carving. |
 |
| Round over the edges of the Pumpkin blank. I leave the detail pumpkin segment lines drawn on and I make sure that the Pumpkin is rounded, with no flat spots when the segment lines are carved away. |
 |
| Carve the segments . Here is the Bonus part of this little project. Cut the handle off and carve a skull out of it. |
 |
| Paint and add a pin back and you have a nice little gift for someone. This one was turned into a friendly Jack-O-Lantern. |
